Caller ID for TiVo®

If you have RCN Digital Phone and TiVo® service from RCN, you can now get Caller ID on your TV. Simply turn on the feature and you’ll see the name and phone number of incoming calls on your main TV.

Call Waiting with Caller ID

The Caller ID and Call Waiting features on your Home Phone work together. When you are on the phone and another caller tries to reach you, a special tone or beep alerts you to the waiting call, and the name and number of the person phoning is displayed on your Caller ID screen or telephone handset.

Distinctive Ring

Distinctive Ring allows you to have up to 2 additional phone numbers while having only one physical line. Each number has a special ring cadence which lets you determine what number is being called. You may have one free directory listing for each distinctive ring number.

Nomorobo

Block unwanted calls from telemarketers and robo-callers. This feature uses a list of phone numbers from the FCC Do Not Call list to block suspected calls. See more.

Repeat Call

Outsmart busy signals. Your phone can automatically redial a number every 40 seconds (for up to 30 minutes) and alert you when the call goes through.

Selective Call Forwarding

Re-route incoming calls to another phone. If you're expecting an important call and want to leave home or go out of town, forward calls to a cell phone.

Selective Call Rejection

Enter numbers that you don't want to receive incoming calls from and they will be blocked.

Simultaneous Ringing(aka SimRing)

Allows your incoming home phone calls to ring and be answered on your cell phones, work phone, and home phone. The first that answers takes the call.
